"Captain Marvel" is expected to break even this week with a $650 million (£496 million) global take.

The blockbuster, starring Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson debuted at the top of the box office charts around the world over the weekend, March 09-10, and early Monday estimates suggest the Disney movie has passed $455 million (£348 million), to land the fifth best opening of all time overseas.

And now the movie is on course to pick up a profit before the end of its first week on release.

"Captain Marvel" is expected to break the $1 billion mark before its run has ended.

"Marvel Studios continues to have an incredible track record that remains unbroken," Cathleen Taff, Disney President of Theatrical Distribution, Franchise Management and Business & Audience Insights says. "Audiences feel they know what they are getting when they buy their movie ticket."
